Has anyone ever written a proxy server for policy services? I have a

problem for me.
I don't know specifically of a proxy offering that functionality,
but I
too would find it useful. We are running policyd v 1.82 on a mysql
server, which is used by 4 smtp gateways in 2 data centers. If ever
there are wan issues and the policyd server is unreachable, smtp
connections to postfix simply fail during this time. A proxy which
could
simply say "Dunno" when the policy server is unreachable would be very
useful indeed. If you do come across such a beast, do drop us a line!
Google 'hapolicy synopsis' -- the author of postfwd wrote a perl
script which acts as a load balancing policy service that can return
dunno if the underlying services are unreachable. Obviously, if
hapolicy itself malfunctions, you're back at square one.
